We have heard with dismay of the decision taken by the Otto Suhr Institute for Political Science of the Freie Universität Berlin to suspend the follow-up teaching contract of Eleonora Roldán Mendívil, and to initiate an investigation of alleged antisemitic content in material that she has published.

Palestinian prisoner Nael Barghouthi, 59 has been imprisoned for 36 years in Israeli jails, and he is the longest-held Palestinian political prisoner. Today, on the basis of so-called "secret evidence," he is threatened with the re-imposition of life imprisonment with no charges and no legitimate trial.

Israel has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes around 700 children in military courts each year. Three out of every four of these children endure some form of physical violence at the hands of Israeli soldiers or officers following arrest.

The Israeli occupation authorities and courts continue to detain Palestinians under the "Emergency Law of 1945", which was in force during the British Mandate of Palestine."

"On August 1, 2014, Rafah’s streets were busy with residents emerging from shelter in anticipation of a 72-hour temporary truce set to begin at 8 a.m. that morning. The ceasefire never took shape as clashes broke out between an Israeli army reconnaissance unit and Palestinian fighters, which led to the capture of Israeli soldier Lieutenant Hadar Goldin... According to Amnesty International, an Israeli military inquiry determined that “more than 2,000 bombs, missiles and shells were fired during the entire day, including 1,000 in the three hours following the capture.”"

"Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHR-IL) call for urgent action to save the life of Palestinian detainee Mohammad Allan, a Palestinian attorney who has been on hunger strike for 54 days in protest of his administrative detention without charge or trial since November 2014.

"Stand With Palestinian Prisoners: Hunger Strike Solidarity!" We, the undersigned organizations and individuals, express our solidarity with the Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails launching hunger strikes and urge that their just demands be immediately implemented. Sign: here!

"These demands are basic principles of justice. The violent raids and attacks by special forces; the ongoing denial of family visits and medical care to Palestinian prisoners; and the difficult and often dangerous living conditions in Israeli jails (particularly now, as temperatures soar and Palestinian prisoners suffer in the heat) are abhorrent. The use of administrative detention to imprison hundreds of Palestinians without charge or trial is an illegitimate and unlawful attack on Palestinians' basic civil and political rights."

"Ahmad Sa’adat, the imprisoned General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Palestinian national political leader, issued the following call to international supporters of Palestine to escalate the campaigns for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions at all levels in support of the prisoners’ struggle. Sa’adat was injured on Tuesday, 28 July when Israeli prison guards and special units attacked Palestinian political prisoners held in Nafha."

As Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, the catastrophe in 1948 when more than 700,000 indigenous Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes by Zionist militias and later the State of Israel, life in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip is reaching a fatal tipping point, as the UN has warned.
Close to 2 million Palestinians are incarcerated by Israel in a small space condemned to a life of misery, where not even water, the source of life, is fit for human consumption. The provision of basic services such as health and education is faltering and the alarm must be sounded. This is an Israeli-made “tsunami” that can be stopped if enough people of conscience around the world would hold Israel to account and pressure their institutions and governments to do so. Israel must pay a heavy price for its criminal behaviour...".

URGENT! Petition to Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon: "Include Israel’s army on the UN list of serious violators of children’s rights!": 4PALKIDS.

70 years of occupation, ethnic cleansing, and unspeakable wars have lead only to a shrinking Palestine and an oppressed unarmed population whose children are being systematically targeted by the Israeli military.
-- 700-1000 Palestinian children every year face arrest, interrogation, torture, detention and imprisonment for alleged crimes including throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. Resisting one's occupier is permissible under international law and yet Israel and the world see that as criminal and deserving of punishment.
-- 2,587 Palestinian children have been killed since 2000 by the Israeli forces.
-- 21,737 Palestinian children have been injured since 2000 by the Israeli forces.
-- 1,392 Palestinian children have been permanently disabled since 2000 by the Israeli forces.
